employer. richardson, welcome south. korea has condemned a defense passed between russia and north korea assigned earlier this week. it's foreign ministry called it a threat to peace and stability on the korean peninsula as all summer and rushes and bassett, or to discuss its concerns. while the details of the military packed are still unclear, self 3 is worried and could encourage north korean aggression. in response to announced it was considering sending weapons to ukraine to support its defense against russia. we spoke earlier to john nelson right from the center for geo politics at cambridge university. we asked him how sole is interpreting a warning from flooding are approved and who said supporting ukraine would be a very big mistake. but i think what the russian leader is trying to say is that if the, the sas grantsville minded to provide for the 1st time, lisa simple called to crane, i suppose in the forms bombs, munitions,

to enhance the pregnancy ability to resist the russian impression that would be seen as a red line from the russian perspective and a normal this a real critical question is, what does the enhanced security cooperation between moscow and young gang really am i to you are a cool that north korea has been speaking to developing the satellite technology capabilities unable to have satellite launch just a few weeks ago. but the sense is that in return for newest careers, provision of munitions and military support to russia in fighting the war and ukraine, the russians might be minded to provide that critical technology. and of course, the language of this new security, this comprehensive strategic agreement between the 2 countries has alonzo as career because they fear the amounts to something even time demand to the full volume, actual lines. that's certainly what the north koreans, the same russians spend a little bit more circumspect. but if you look at the language of that new

agreement, it, it, it creates a commitment on both sides to come to the assistance of the new partner with immediate dispatch and very, very quickly event of an attack on either one of the signatories. this is john nelson right from the center for geo politics at cambridge university. now after 8 and a half months of war and gauze are the is riley government still says it plans to destroy mass. but in an interview with israel's channel, 13 broadcaster, the spokes person of the israeli army rear. admiral daniel, how garry said, how moss cannot be destroyed? come mamma is an idea. who are the things we can eliminate? how mazda is wrong? i am not referring to the alternatives, the political lash alone has to decide on that as well defense forces will implemented. but this business of destroying hama is simply throwing sand in the eyes of the public. if we don't bring something else to gun, and then at the end of the day, we will get home, i'll be on the company to come up. mazda is classified as

a terrorist group. i'm any western countries in addition to its military wing, it has governed it also since 2007, and as a political force as well. let's take a look now what, what is less than the group and the danger it could still pose to israel. the thomas spiders firing rockets, it is real from southern lebanon where it cooperates with other militant groups. air raid alarms are frequent in tel aviv, well within those rockets range. this is something israel's military wanted to stop with its war in the gaza. get it's still happening. there are no precise independently verified figures available about from us, of strength in numbers of fighters for it stops of weapons. israel estimates that how much had more than $30000.00 fighters at the time of its terror attacks on october 7th, last year, and the between $12.14 have been killed and fighting since then. however, i must,

may be able to fill its ranks with new recruits quickly. israel has also ceased stores of weaponry. putting rocket monitors, missiles and guns, and it's really military analysts told dw, earlier this year, that 70 to 80 percent. that's how most of the arsenal have been captured or destroyed. but about half of the masses tunnels are estimated to still be in town, allowing the group to hide, regroup, and potentially re arm itself through the smuggling network. then there's the groups leadership which is largely survived. yeah, yeah. seen was the groups leader and gaza still runs operations from hiding in the groups. and political leader is male hand yeah. isn't, can tar the leader with the military rang mohammed dave is thought to be hiding and goes as well. israel did kill dave, deputy marwan isa, but that is the closest it's come to taking out the senior leadership. as israel reckons with a war that could go on for months to come pressure for us,

these fires growing otherwise it's forces maybe over stretch unless able to react to other threats. aaron, david miller is a senior fellow at the carnegie endowment for international peace. i asked him what he makes of ideas. suppose person daniel allegories statement. i mean, i'm a local level, i think it reflects what is really intelligence community and senior id. officials have police for quite some time and it brings to mind kissinger's. quit the 1969 and i need to be and now more of the grow we have does not lose the conventional army gradual military lose if it does not. and the reality is yes, use or at least have done previous damage to a masses, organized military structure is command control. it's a rocket launch facilities, it's laboratories. but the reality is how much will maintain in military capacity,

maybe 10 to 15000 fighters. and it will endure either as an insurgency or alternatively, given the weakness of the palestinian national move and specifically the cost. and in the dougherty, it will remain opposing force able to influence politics and gaza, either through innovation, co optation, or but do you think that is just becoming clear to the idea at this stage at the start of israel's invasion of gaza after the october 7th terror attacks experts did warn of essentially henry's point that hamas has an idea that can't just be stamped out by killing its supporters. so why do you think we are hearing this from him now? i guess i think after almost 9 months and it's hard to believe next month because not funding this war. the idea of id f not the political establishment mister nature y'all. is there anyone, governor, during most of the fight they understand how difficult it is for the id have to operate band or stand it every time you strike, which was

a horse mass casualty said to wherever it is with your machine is particularly in the united states but it in europe and other places as well. and i understand that the only way to if, if in fact it's even possible to beat us, is treating alternative structure and alternative a set of governing principles to see, to facilitate security and prosperity which garza has left under a mazda is rule since 2007, and the current government miserable is simply as knowing the junction of engaging in the house 30 into 40 or creating any sort of hope in a form of opponents or rise in to, to it sounds really do states for example. so i think by large, the idea is, is that breaking select the government,

but making it quite clear and i think it will be common to factor pressure point. i suspect in the days and months they had a minute and you know, relevant to your think there is a part of prime minister netanyahu that also understands this and understands what the id spoke person is saying here. i know there's no doubt except the prime minister. now the long discovery prime minister in history, state of israel, ki domestic constituencies and visually differentials. it's number one, his right wing coalition and the maintenance. uh, he's prime minister because if the boss no longer is prime minister, we should have elections of workings were held in the uh, today. most probably mr. know, to know, would not be able to form a government and transfer brevard for an reach address in jerusalem district court . you phases the prospects of the convention, or alternatively, we brought up sleep are going to avoid jail time,

which would mean the end of his political career. so no staying afloat, came catering to the right wing. it seems to be his uh, his m o n. and because of the germs on july 25th, if he makes it to that day, it actually does a resume again until 2 weeks before the american electorate said he'd be in a position then, as prime minister train of judgment out here, the next president of the united states is going to be just as tacked as gording, i suspect, are in some event that we can define or for see with respect to regional medical future. we're probably talking sometime next year there and david miller speaking to me earlier. now a quick look at some other stories making headlines. the international criminal court has on sealed on arrest warrant for yet a gully for war crimes and crimes against humanity. in molly, he was the alleged leader of an is lamaster group that took control of tim booked
